## What is Animal Pop?

Animal Pop is a cute animal match 3 puzzle game. Swap bears, bees, cats, cows, foxes and penguins, line up three or more of the same animal, and watch them pop! The animal friends blink, smile and jump as you play. It is easy to pick up, and the challenge grows as you travel across 430 levels on a colorful island map.

■ SIMPLE AND SATISFYING MATCH 3
• Swipe an animal to swap it with its neighbor and match 3 in a row or column.
• Match 4 to make a striped animal that clears a whole line.
• Match in an L or T shape to make a firework animal that blasts everything around it.
• Match 5 to make a rainbow bomb that clears every animal of one color.
• Combine two special animals for a huge blast.

■ 430 LEVELS, MANY KINDS OF GOALS
• Reach the target score.
• Rescue the animals trapped in ice.
• Bring the unicorn and tiger friends down to the bottom.
• Collect the animals shown in the goal.
• Beat the clock in timed levels, where +5 second animals buy you extra time.
• Break through ice cages, wooden crates and spreading blocks with smart moves.

■ BOOSTERS FOR TRICKY LEVELS
• Start a level with a rainbow bomb, 5 striped animals or 5 firework animals.
• In the middle of a level, add 5 extra moves (or 30 extra seconds), swap two animals even without a match, reshuffle colors around an animal, or pop any animal with a tap.

■ DAILY REWARDS
• 7-day daily gift: collect gold and boosters, plus 1 hour of unlimited hearts on day 7.
• Daily missions: three new missions every day plus an all-clear bonus.

■ RELAXED, FAIR HEARTS
• Up to 5 hearts, refilling one every 30 minutes.
• Clearing a level never costs a heart. You only lose one when you fail or quit a level.
• The first 20 levels never cost hearts, so you can learn at your own pace.

■ PLAY ANYWHERE, EVEN OFFLINE
The puzzles work without Wi-Fi or mobile data, so you can play on the subway, on a plane or anywhere else. Ads need a connection.

Animal Pop is a casual brain game for short breaks and a relaxing way to unwind. If you enjoy cute animal games, zoo puzzles or classic match-3 levels, start your adventure with the animal friends today.
